Time for what matters with flexible study

As a mature-age student, we understand that your commitments outside of study can demand a lot of your time. That's why our First Year Model gives you the flexibility you need to fit uni around your busy life.

Instead of juggling multiple deadlines at once, our First Year Model lets you focus on one unit at a time. And with classes for most units available morning, afternoon or evening, it's easy to tailor a timetable that suits you.

The model applies to students at our Melbourne campuses, commencing the first year of a bachelor degree in 2018.

Broad range of courses to choose from

Take your VCE at VU

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is a senior secondary school qualification which can prepare you for the workforce or study at an undergraduate or TAFE level. VCE at VU is offered through our TAFE division, Victoria University Polytechnic. It is the same VCE course offered in secondary schools, but is specifically tailored for adults returning to study.

Short courses, certificates & diplomas

If you don’t have the time to commit to a full degree, or simply want to upskill or reskill in a particular field, you will find lots of course options at Victoria University Polytechnic.

Our TAFE division offers courses at all levels of study, from trade pre-apprenticeships through to graduate certificates in management and more.

Credit for your skills & past study

We recognise the valuable skills and life experience that you may already have when you return to study. We can credit academic, professional or life skills that are determined to be equivalent to the skills that would be covered in specific units in the course you plan to take. This means you may be able to complete your course in a shorter time.
